Short Lists

I haven't done one of these for a month, so here's one that sprang to mind when my wife went all posh on us when deciding which cheese to grate over her spaghetti:

Inspired by Henry North London, I typed in Labour's election slogan into the Internet Anagram Server, choose your own favourite.

Another cow attack

Continuing my occasional series, from the Newark* Advertiser:

Newark firefighters were called to a field off Hatchet’s Lane, at 5.15pm on Monday, where a 71-year-old woman had taken refuge up a tree.

Watch manager Mr Brian Smith said the woman fled up the tree after being charged by a cow with a calf. She was walking two dogs, a retriever and a Jack Russell. When the crew arrived the dogs were at the bottom of the tree and the cows were gone**...

Three people have reported to have been trampled to death by cows in recent weeks and former Home Secretary Mr David Blunkett made the headlines when he was charged by a cow in Derbyshire in June.

* That's an anagram of "wanker", as it happens, making Newark my second favourite English town after Scunthorpe (hidden word).

** So we're taking her word for it, really.
